Just wondering if anyone can suggest a good cover for a ST1300. My last one, all be it was on its last legs, was not a match for hurricane Dorian. The cover got ripped to shreds. We were riding out east on the Cabot Trial during its passing over. What a storm. Thanks.

Because I have to cover my bike at work, minutes after getting here, I have been using the Nelson-Rigg UV-2000-XL.

I have been using these covers on my V65 Sabre, before my first ST1300.

UV-2000-XL

+1 This is what I use as well. It's a stout cover that folds into a little compression case for travel. I don't know what bike cover would be hurricane rated short of a bunker.

I like this one.
Half cover protects the seat and dash stuff, but seems to dry faster in the morning.
Fits the ST like it was made for it.

I use the Nelson-Rigg but I had to get the XXL to fit over the Givi 52 top box on my 1300. Even that is snug. But it goes on hot pipes no problem.

Would buy another if need arose.

I made my own for the Victory out of a two-man tent. Works like a charm and got the tent from a friend for free and the wife helped me with a little sewing- machine magic. You can't beat that!

Just to close this thread I ended up purchasing the Nelson-Rigg Deluxe All Season cover. I did try out the Nelson-Rigg Defender Extreme Motorcycle cover but found it to be too heavy of a cover. My motorcycle does have a home in the garage so having the heavier cover did not really make sense. That would be the cover of choice if the bike was outside in the elements during all 4 seasons. The All Season cover is only water-resistant and not waterproof which works for me as I only need the cover when on a road trip. This cover also packs into a small supplied bag.

One thing I did struggle with was the cover sizing. The measurements supplied were under sized. I ended up having to get the 2X size for the 1300.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
